siEce September 10th General Master
Workman Powderly has been secluded at
his honc in Scranton, preparing his re-
port Tor presentation TO the coming Gen
erdl Assembly. free from annoyance and
working out alone plan for the redemp-
ton of the order from its present precari-
o,ss situation. In the report he will
concentrate his greatest efforts in urging
the adoption o! ;ha mex constitution,
which General Secretary Lithman an
nouncei last June had been adopted, but
which has been disputed since. Powderly
thoroughly appreciates the difficulty OF
his task, and his expectation is that q
great contest will lie wagei over il in the
General Assembly. He will also strongly
advocate the adoption OF his new scheme
in regard to the formation Of national
trade assemblies, which he promulgated
two weeks ago.
Revelations from the inside show that
an amazing state Of decentralization exists
within the general headquarters. Heated
sguabbles between members OF the Gen
eral Executive Board are reported TO be
Of daily occurrence, and open ruptures
are threatened. The large corps Of clerks
and assistants employed in the establish
ment are said to be on the very verge Of
mntiny, and their dislike OF the general
officers is the subject Of constant comment.

q post trader there, was shot and killed

Quite an unusual case will come up for
trial before Judge Fisher this morning.
De Courcey French. who runs a chicken
ranch a few miles south of the city, has
sworn out a complaint against John W.
Clark, whom he had employed to assist
in work about the place. Both are deaf
mutes, Mr., French charges Clark with
malicious mischief, assault and battery
and nearly every other unlawful act speci-
fed in the category. At one time when
Clark could not find time to express his
feelings with his fingers he threw a heavy
iron bootiack a 1.-THE plaintiff. On another
occasion Clark, after consuming a couple
ofquires of paper in reading the riot act to
French, proceeded to demolish the furni-
ture, and only stopped after a fruitless eff
fort to wreck the house and pull down the
fence. 1t is expected that Judgment will be
rendered in the case o.day if enough blank
paper can be obtained for the respective
parties to the suit to give in their test
mony.

About l o'clock this morning Police
man Smith captured a horse attached to a
badly demoralized buggy near the Pres
byterian church, as the animal was madly
plunging in the direction of the railroad.
The horse had no headgear and the We.
hicle was dragged along on two wheels.
The rig had evidently come some distance,
as the horse was badly cut about the legs
and covered with foam when caught and
taken to Abney's stable. 1t is a large
sorr9l, branded circle R, and has
two white legs. Whether the horse
broke loose from a hitching post or
whether the occupants were thrown out is
not yet known. Capt. Smith at once Sc
cured a horse and rode out in the direc-
ton from which the runaway came, to
learn, if possible, the true state Of affairs.

AGGnAvATINC ACCIDENTS.
A Couple of Victims Of Absent-Minded-
ness Laid UP tor Repairs.

Jim Petit, a cowboy, aud a sheep
herder from Warreu's ranch, are in the
city undergoing treatment for injuries re-
eeived in a rather peculiar manner. Mr..
Petit was engaged in ear. marking calves,
and held the knife used for that purpose
in his hand while ''roping'' a y%earling.
Just as the RATA frightened around the
animal hind legs it made several desperate
lunges in its efforts to escape. Jim braced
himself and threw his hands at his back as
is the custom of cowmen when holding a
steer. He forgot all about the knife in
his left hand. and as he brought that
member around, literally stabbed himself
in the hack. The wound is a troublesome
though not serious one.
The sheep herder has been sleeping on
the plains since last February, and when
he found himself in a bunk at the ranch
last week, felt out of place. During the
night he heard a pack of coyotes render
ing a serenade in the distance, and forget.
ting that his woolly charges we're safely
lodged in the corral, and himself in d
cabin, arose hastily to dispense the coy.
otes. As he did so he bumped his head
on the bunk above, but still did not real
ize where he was located, and stepped to
the floor, a distance of five feet, before he
awakened. When the sleepy man took
an inventory of himself he found that he
was all there. but that he had stepped on
himself when landing on the floor and
broken several bones in his right hand.
He is improving, and says that it will be
a cold day when he sleeps in the house
again.

1t will be remembered that some time
since a decision was rendered by the local
land officials concerning the ownership of
the land on which the city reservoir known
as Lake Absaracca is situated. 1t was
~adiudged that the property rightfully be-
longed to the city of Cheyenne, and the
case was appealed by Francis Nolan to
Commissioner Sparks. The following
is a portion of the decision of the CON-
missioner as received by Register Wilson
yesterday. After reviewing the case, the
communication says:
Upon the whole l must conclude that
the testimony does not show or sustain a
bona fde pre-. emption right in Nolan TO
the land in controversy. Hence his de-
claratory statement is held for cancellation
and the land awarded to contestant. You
will give due notice hereof and allow the
usual time for appeal.
S. NJ. Stock LAGER,
Assistant Commissioner.
Washington, June Is, 1887.
1t is hoped that this will settle the dis.
pute as to the ownership of the land, as
the suit has been a source of annoyance
to all parties concerned from the time of
its commencement several years ago.
